The desert tells a different story every time one ventures on it. ~Robert Edison Fulton
#quotes #robert-edison-fulton #stories

There is a very simple secret to being happy. Just let go of your "demand" on this moment. Any time you have a demand on the moment to give you something or remove something, there is suffering. You are arguing with "what is." Your demands keep you chained to the "dream state" of the conditioned mind. The desire to "control" is, ultimately, our unwillingness to just be awake. ~Adyashanti

There's nothing you can do about it. All you can hope for is that people that are using it are using it with the best intent. ~David Lloyd

I believe that before anything else I'm a human being; just as much as you are... or at any rate I shall try to become one.

I must think things out for myself and try to understand them. ~Henrik Ibsen
